Safety and compliance

These instructions are intended as a guide only. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that

installation complies with applicable regulations and local government by-laws.

Installation must be performed by a suitably qualied person. Incorrect installation or malfunctioning

resulting from incorrect installation are not covered by warranty.

Carefully read through the ‘Safety and warnings’ section of this document.

The dishwasher must not be connected to the electrical supply while it is being installed. Ensure all

domestic wiring is properly earthed.

If an old appliance is being replaced, make sure it is disposed of properly. To avoid children getting

trapped or injured while playing with an old appliance, ensure you remove any doors, door locks and

cables from it.

In order to ensure that the dishwasher is stable, it must be installed under a continuous surface which is

attached to adjacent cupboards.

Unpacking and handling

Check packaging and dishwasher for signs of transport damage. If the dishwasher is in any way

damaged, do not install it. Contact the dealer the dishwasher was purchased from.

Disposal of packaging: some of the packaging is recyclable. Check the symbols and labels and recycle if

possible.

Never lift the dishwasher from the door handle or the top panel. Doing so may cause damage. Always

be careful with the hoses and power cord at the back of the dishwasher. Careful handling will prevent

damage and malfunction from squashing, kinking or cuts.

While installing the dishwasher, check the drain hose is not restricted or kinked.

Connections and services

Check that the power cord is long enough to reach the outlet. If it isn’t, it must be replaced by a Haier

authorised technician. Extension cords or multi-outlet power boards should not be used to connect the

dishwasher to the power supply.

Check that the hoses are long enough to reach the services. If a hose needs extending, ensure that the

extension hose is new and of equal quality and diameter to the one already tted.

Note: the drain hose should not be longer than 4 m, as a longer drain hose will cause reduced

performance.

The dishwasher should not be connected to a water system where the temperature exceeds 60oC, or

where there is no temperature control, e.g. wetback system, unless the system is tted with a suitable

tempering valve.

The dishwasher must not be connected to an undersink high-pressure “push-through” type hot water

system, as damage to the system will result.

Preparing the product and cabinetry

The top panel may be removed to suit underbench cavity height. See the illustrations below.

Important!

To prevent possible steam damage to the cabinetry,

ensure that any bare wood surrounding the dishwasher is

sealed with an oil-based paint or moisture-proof polyurethane.

Services can be located either side of the dishwasher.

Ensure that the services hole has a minimum

diameter of 50 mm.

Levelling and positioning the dishwasher

Before sliding the dishwasher into position, adjust the feet with a spanner (1) to ensure that the

dishwasher is level (2) and the required height.

Do not lift the dishwasher from the door handle or top panel.

Position the dishwasher in the cavity, ensuring that the hoses

and power cord don’t get bent, crimped, or trapped under the dishwasher in the process (3).

If you install the dishwasher with the top panel removed, we recommend that you fix the

dishwasher to the bench using the top brackets, as shown (4).

Important!

Ensure that you do not damage the bench by using fixing screws that are too long for it.

Only if top panel removed

Plumbing -- Waste connection

These drainage options are designed to eliminate problems that occur with combined

sink-dishwasher waste systems.

Drainage option A: Separate sink and dishwasher waste systems

The standpipe must have a minimum diameter of 38 mm and stand 750 mm above the floor.

Use the supplied drain hose support to hold the drain hose in place in the standpipe.

Important!

We do not recommend connecting the drain hose or drain pipe directly to a built-in waste disposal unit.

Drainage option B: Combined sink and dishwasher waste systems

When connecting the drain hose to a sink trap with a drain hose spigot, make sure that the drain

hose is supported to the height of the bench.

Ensure the drain spigot has a minimum hole diameter of 15 mm and it has been drilled out.

Secure the drain hose connection with the clip supplied.

Plumbing -- Water inlet connection

Important!

The appliance should be connected to the water main using the new water inlet hose supplied.

Old hoses should not be used.

Do not shorten the inlet hose.

Take note of water connection requirements.

The dishwasher has a single valve water connection.

We recommend a cold water connection for best performance and energy efficiency.

The incoming water temperature should not exceed 60

Take note of the permitted water pressure extremes.

Lowest: 0.3 bar = 3 N/cm

= 30kPa

Where pressure is below 1 bar, contact a qualified plumber.

Highest: 10 bar = 100 N/cm

= 1MPa

Where pressure is above 10 bar, a pressure reduction valve must be installed.

Contact a qualified plumber.

Connect the water inlet hose to an accessible water tap with a ¾”BSP connector. Ensure that

there is no kink in the inlet hose that could restrict the flow of water. A 90

bend requires a

minimum height of 200 mm for a kink-free curve.

Ensure incoming water is clear. If the water pipes have not been used for a long period of

time, let the water run to make sure it is clear with no impurities. Not doing so

may result in the water inlet hose getting blocked and damaging the appliance.

If required, use a filter insert to filter out deposits from the piping. The filter insert is

available from your Authorised Service Centre or Customer Care.

Tighten the hose coupling a further half turn after seal contact.

Check that the connection does not leak.

min.

10 mm

3/4” BSP connector

Electrical connection

The dishwasher must not be connected to the electrical supply while installation is being carried

out. Ensure all domestic wiring is properly earthed.

Check the rating label and ensure that the voltage and frequency values for the current in the house

correspond to those on the rating label.

Insert the plug into a properly earthed power outlet that has a disconnection switch.

Important!

The earthing of the appliance is a safety requirement mandated by law.

If the power cord is not long enough to reach the outlet or the outlet to which the appliance

must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, the entire dishwasher power cord must be

replaced. This should only be done by a Haier authorised technician. Do not modify or

cut the plug. Do not use an adaptor, extension cord, or multi-outlet power board to connect the

dishwasher to the power supply, as these could cause overheating and create a fire hazard.

The outlet into which the dishwasher is plugged must remain easily accessible (e.g. in an adjacent

cabinet) even when the appliance is installed. This is to ensure that the dishwasher can be

disconnected from the power supply for safe cleaning and maintenance.

Installer final checklist

Check that the door opens and closes freely without resistance to adjacent cabinetry.

Check that the plug is accessible.

Check that the dishwasher is level. If necessary, adjust the levelling feet slightly. To ensure

optimum performance, the diswasher should not be inclined more than 2

. Check with a spirit

level.

Rinse aid

This product makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry without

spotting. The dispenser is located on the inside panel of the door .

Loading the rinse aid

Regardless of the type of detergent dispenser installed on your

appliance, you must proceed as indicated below when loading the

rinse aid.

To open the dispenser, turn the "1" cap in an anti-clockwise direction

and then pour in the rinse aid, making sure not to overll. The amount

of rinse aid used for each cycle can be regulated by turning the " 2"

dose adjustor, located beneath the "1" cap, with a screwdriver. There

are 6 different settings; the normal dosage setting is 3.

How to ll rinse aid

When the low rinse aid indicator “H” lights, you must load rinse aid .

How to ll the detergent dispenser

Important

Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying. If drops of water remain on the dishes or

spotting occurs, the dosage adjustor should be turned to a higher setting. If the dishes have

white streaks, turn the dosage adjustor to a lower setting.

Detergent

Detergent specifically intended for use with dishwashers must

be used. The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each

wash cycle following the instructions provided in the "Programme

overview". The detergent dispenser is located on the inside panel of

the door.

Loading the detergent

To open the " 3 " cover on the dispenser, press the "4" button.

The detergent for the wash cycle should be poured into the " 5 "

compartment.

The detergent for the pre-wash cycle should be poured into the “

6 ” compartment.

After the detergent has been placed in the dispenser, close the

cover and press down until it clicks in place.

Notice:

To facilitate closing the cover, remove any excess detergent on the edges of the

dispenser.

Not suitable for the dishwasher

What you should not put into the dishwasher

Cutlery and tableware manufactured in whole or part from wood.They become faded and unsightly in

appearance.Furthermore,the adhesives that are used are not suitable for the temperature that occur

inside the dishwasher.Delicate decorative glassware and vases,special antique or irreplaceable china.

The decorative patterns on such items will not be dishwasher-proof.

Plastic objects that are not resistant to hot water, copper and pewter utensils are also not suitable.

Decorative patterns printed or painted onto the surface of crockery, glasses, etc.,aluminium and silver

items tend to become discoloured or faded if washed in the diswasher. Some types of glass can become

opaque in appearance after they have been washed many times in a dishwasher. Highly absorbent

materials, such as sponges and towels,should never be placed in the dishwasher.

Our recommendation

In future, only purchase table or kitchenware that has been conrmed as being dishwasher-proof.

Important

Dishes or cutlery that have been soiled by tobacco ash, wax,

Iubricating grease or paint, should not be put in the dishwasher.

Damage to glassware and other dishes

Possible causes

type of glass or manufacturing process

chemical composition of detergent

water temperature and duration of dishwasher programme.

Use glassware or porcelain dishes that have been marked ‘dishwasher-proof’ by the manufacture.

Use a mild detergent that is described as ‘kind to dishes’. If necessary, seek further information from

detergent manufacturers.

Select a programme with a low temperature and a short duration as possible.

To prevent damage, take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the

programme has ended.

Suggested remedy

Arranging crockery, glasses, etc. in the dishwasher

Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food particles to prevent the filter from

becoming clogged, which results in reduced performance.

If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely hard to remove, we recommend that they are

soaked before washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles.

Pull out the rack to load the dishwasher.

How to use the lower rack

We recommend that you place the most difcult to clean items

on the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls,

as shown in the gure to the right.

It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of

the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray

arm.

Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face

down(see g.D) .

g.D

Normal daily load

g.E

Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to ow out.

The silverware basket can be doubled (see g.E) so that

only one section may be used when the silverware load is

light. This also makes space for additional pots and pans

and it can also be placed in the upper rack.

Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with

the handles at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the

spoons should be located individually into the appropriate

slots. Especially long utensils should be placed in the

horizontal position at the front of the upper rack.

The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter

dishware, such as glasses, cups and saucers, plates, small

bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty).

How to use the upper rack

g.G

g.F

Shelf

Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against the shelf-

not against other items to be washed.

Place glasses, cups and small bowls on the additional cup

rack. The additional cup rack can be swivelled in or out as

required(see g.G).

Knife rack

The knife rack clips onto the side of the top basket, giving you

the freedom to wash your large sharp knives separately and out

of harm’s way (see g.H).

Adjust the upper basket to the higher level and you have

more space to accommodate those taller pans and trays in

the bottom basket.

Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get

moved by the spray of water.

The upper rack can be adjusted for height using the levers

located on both sides of the rack (see g.F).

g.H

Warning

knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the

basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal position.
